How do I wrap text around a picture or image in PowerPoint? I am using MS
Office 2003.

You will need to manually insert the line breaks to shape the text around an
image. PowerPoint does not have the same abilities that Word & Publisher
have in this department. If you feel that it should have this ability,
please please please tell MS. In case you can't tell, I think it should,
too.

In PowerPoint, it is a manual process. You have to put the picture on the
slide and put a large text box over it. Type your text. As each line of
text approaches the picture, hit the Enter key to go to the next line
(and pray you don't have to edit the text which will require manually
adjusting all the line breaks). This is one those annoying features that
lots of people would like to have changed.

As the others are said, it's a manual process in PPT. In addition to
using ENTER to start a new line, try SHIFT+ENTER. It does so without
starting a new paragraph or bullet.
